From aesub(5):

 PLural

        This function requires 2 or 3 arguments.  The first argument is
        evaluated as a number, if it is plural (not equal to 1) the
        second argument is the result, otherwise the third argument is
        the result (or empty if not given).  This is mostly used to
        pluralize sentences in Germainic error messages.

I'm not expert of this area, but the following string may be correct:

"$filename: $linenumber: i erstatning »$message« fandt $number abrugt${plural $number e} "
"${plural $number variabler variabel} (afbryder)"
